I do realise that you are trying to portray Boris as a serial liar , based on a misquote from a news article 30 years ago , but its incorrect to label him as being a serial liar .
Johnson IS a serial liar. End of.

But it is just as well they did make a big deal of his lies, corruption and incompetence.

Let's hope she learns from this before Labour become a serious alternative.
She's safe for now but if Starmer, Abbott, Lammy, Rayner etc. were replaced with competent, decent human beings it could become a real issue in terms of staying in power.
Well let her call a General Election right now before Labour become a serious alternative. Starmer, Abbott, Lammy, Rayner etc. can't possibly win, so let's go for it!

45 minutes ago, champers said:Putin's fault today.
4 minute speech followed by taking 4 questions from the press. She left in a huff.
I believe it was 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
Of flapdoodle, however.
'Yes, the Chancellor is sacked but we haven't done anything wrong. And God, I miss him, the man I just sacked. However I respect his decision to be sacked'....

I said from the start, Truss is a gift to the opposition.

The national problem is being too generous to foreigners when Britain needs to take care of itself.
Hmm. What is the betting that the 'We ought to take care of ourselves first' brigade are also the first ones ranting on about 'benefits scroungers', single mothers, etc...?

Whatever is the policy, which is decided by the government in accordance with international treaties.
Simpler just to point out they stay in Rwanda. They are not welcome in the UK under any circumstances. Why be so evasive?

Just make sure you are laying your own life on the line before escalating the war. You first. Lead by example.

However, had a greater majority embraced the opportunities as the guys I know did, things would have been a lot more prosperous for all.
The mines would have closed sooner or later. Maybe a Labour government would gave pumped millions in to keep them open. That would, as we now know, have been futile.
Maybe they would. But better that than borrowing billions to give tax cuts for the already wealthy. At least miners' wages would not be stuck in some offshore account in the Caymans or wherever.

Galatians VI (King James Version):
From Tito to Stalin many years ago was this letter:
" Stalin: Stop sending people to kill me. We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle… If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send one to Moscow, and I won't have to send another.”
So both yourself and the Good Book are entirely correct.

57 minutes ago, superal said:I agree with you . Problem here is that it is a sensitive subject and your words have to chosen carefully . We are open to accusations of being racists or non compliance with human rights treaties . Theses economic gate crashers mostly consist of young unskilled single men who are seeking an easy way of life in the UK whilst being supported by various benefits . They come often without passports or I.D. and cannot be vetted . Many have a criminal past and are breaking entry laws into the UK and therefore should be deported . They are also a burden to the already overstretched NHS and housing stock . The UK navy should pick them up in mid channel with an amphibious craft , return to the French beaches , lower the ramps and usher them off .
I have no problem with real asylum seekers such as the Ukrainian people .
So they turn up "without passports or ID and cannot be vetted", yet you know many have a criminal past despite nobody knowing who the hell they are?
You do see how that doesn't actually make any sense?
